Peiping's Old Dream, Kunqu Opera Remains

In the winter of the 16th year of the Republic of China, there was a storm in Peiping. Shen Zhiheng, a young man from an aristocratic family, stayed in France and returned to China. He was ordered by his mother to go to the Qingyin small class to socialize; Su Wanqing, a down-and-out Jiangnan girl who was displaced by the war, became a famous actor in Kunqu Opera and did not sell her life. During the banquet, Shen Zhiheng saw the officer trying to force Su Wanqing, so he stepped in to rescue him. The two met for the first time. Su Wanqing Qingwan is stubborn and Shen Zhiheng is gentle and tolerant, and they have a good impression of each other. However, there is a huge difference in status between the two, and they are strongly opposed by Mrs. Shen and their family friend Gu Manyun. Warlord Lu Tingxiao fell in love with Su Wanqing at first sight and forcibly brought him into his residence, creating misunderstandings and forcing Shen Zhiheng to separate. In the turbulent times, the September 18th Incident and the North China Incident followed one after another. The danger of the family and the country was intertwined with personal love and hate. Shen Zhiheng secretly joined the anti-Japanese war. Su Wanqing was tortured in the Lu Mansion, and they tortured each other after they reunited. The truth began to emerge, but the two were separated during the pursuit of the Japanese invaders. In the end, Su Wanqing died of illness due to overwork, and Shen Zhiheng joined the anti-Japanese battlefield. Life and death were separated, and they staged an extreme sadomasochistic love affair in which they could not fall in love with each other in troubled times.
